It sounds to me that the narrator/singer is not a person but the feeling that makes people become desperate, cut themselves or even let them commit suicide. (I will simply call it "the feeling" ;)
In the first paragraph it sais that the person made mistakes and he/she should cut their skin that eyerybody can see it. (Altought it might not be their own faults, but the people think they are.)
"The feeling" in a way forces them to do that.
The chorus sais that the person is burned out and has no hope left. For "the feeling" is nothing left to destroy ("A weak worn out friend There's nothing left for me") and it offers the person the only way out...suicide ("Despite the absence of hope I give you this sacrifice")
In the next Paragraph again "the feeling" tries to persuade the person to cut her/himself to sleep
("drift away") Better be dead than burned out ("dont end up zero") And "the feeling" sais that it will not help ("cause i'll look the other way").
But I don't know exactly what to do with "You're so far Behind be my hero"
Last Paragraph describes how the person turned into such a desperate person. "The feeling" sneakes into the thoughts of someone and leaves there a "hotbed of virulence" so that every bad feeling or tragedy the person suffered once in life becomes an insuperable problem. So the psyche changes completly and the person only sees one way out of this.
My personal interpretation of this song. Sounds logical to me altought I cant figure out "You're so far Behind be my hero". Maybe to encourage the person in its plan...
